No, a shill is a person planted in the audience intended to respond as
the organizer hopes to inspire others to react.
For instance a snake oil salesman might plant a shill to rush up and buy
3 bottles, proclaiming loudly that 'it saved my Tilly's life, gave
granpaw back his own teeth, and worked great to keep my hat on in a high
wind, too." The idea being that other members of the audience, seeing a
rush to buy, would join him.
In this case, I think Marcus is suggesting having someone come in and
start making the "stick the neck out" posts and responses that Rane was
hoping to see, giving Rane the opportunity to visibly reward this sort
of use of the cf.
(Did I get that right, Marcus?)

But his *previous* response was also one word, and only one punctuation mark.
(But the word had 5 letters - this one only had 3. And he got someone else
to explain the first one at greater length.)

agreed that planting a shill works great in a random assembly of people.
might even be worth a try in a closed group of ppl who see each other
a coupletimes a week and who might be able to identify the foreigner.
however, it is worth a try in that context. something has towork.
